THEATER

On Broadway THE ROYAL HUNT OF THE SUN, by Peter Shaffer, an eye-filling theatrical spectacular set in 16th century Peru, is fine when it sticks to tableaux of weary conquista dors making their nail-clawing ascent of the Andes. When it gets down to dramatic brass tacks, however, the play is full of such tacky fugues as war is hell, God is dead, and life lacks meaning.

GENERATION. "Do-it-yourself" is the operative philosophy of a resolutely anticon-formist young couple in a Greenwich Village loft. They even plan to deliver their own baby—until Father-in-law Henry Fonda flies in from Chicago, thwarts their plans and charms the audience.

HALF A SIXPENCE "is better than none" is Tommy Steele's theme in this younger-than-springtime musical, and the ubiquitous Steele is better than most of the breed as the singing-dancing-banjo-playing Kipps, a rags-to-riches-to-rags hero.
